OpenMP® ARB Adds New Member Samsung

The OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB) today announced that Samsung has joined the board. The OpenMP ARB is a group of leading hardware vendors, software vendors, and research organizations that are creating the standard for the most popular shared-memory parallel programming model in use today.

Samsung Electronics is a world-leading semiconductor manufacturer with a wide range of products that power the tools you use every day - including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and more. With a strong focus on innovation, Samsung designs and manufactures memory, system LSI, foundry, and LED solutions. Set to open in 2024, Samsung recently roke ground on a state-of-the-art Foundry in Taylor, Texas that will power next-generation technologies in areas like 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC).

"We are pleased to join the organization to help define the future of OpenMP," said Dr. Robert W. Wisniewski, Senior Vice President and HPC Chief Architect for Samsung Electronics. "MPI+X is the dominant model for HPC with accelerators and Samsung will leverage OpenMP for X."

"We are delighted to welcome Samsung as our newest member," says Michael Klemm, CEO of the OpenMP ARB, "They are very active in the open source community, and we look forward to their contributions."

Day 4, Cisco Live! - The Wrap

Day 4 was the final day of our first ever Cisco Live! We had a great show, with many great conversations and new connections with existing and potential end users, resellers, partners and job hunters.

Day 3 of Cisco Live is history! For Fiber Mountain, we continued to enjoy visits from decision makers and influencers who were eager to share their data center and structured cabling challenges.

Day 2, Cisco Live!

Tuesday was Day 2 of Cisco Live for Fiber Mountain and we continued to experience high levels of traffic, with many high value decision makers and influencers visiting our booth. One very interesting difference from most conferences I attend is that there are no titles on anyone's show badges. This allows open conversations without people being pretentious. I think this is a very good idea.

Day 1, Cisco Live!

Fiber Mountain is exhibiting at Cisco Live! In Las Vegas for the first time ever! Our first day was hugely successful from just about any perspective - from quantity and quality of booth visitors to successful meetings with customers.
